Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Sparks, NV

Hello, I am so grateful you have decided to seek out assistance in walking through this time of your life. I have been a licensed therapist for over 15 years. 2010 to 2001 In Seattle and @021 to current in the Reno /Tahoe area. I have a great deal of experience assisting clients to gain insight into themselves, understanding of reactions to others and ways to find peace by settling into authentic self. I look forward to getting to know each other.

Welcome to my practice!

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 1998 from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and my Master's Degree in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy in 2001 from UNLV as well. I have been seeing clients in private practice for over 25 years. I have been an AAMFT Approved Supervisor for over 15 years. I have worked in many capacities, including school counseling, teaching, juvenile justice, and community agency work. In April 2023, I began working as the Clinic Director at UNLV's Center for Individual, Couple, and Family Counseling at Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine. I continue to maintain a small private practice and supervise state interns in MFT and LCPC.

I have expertise in CBT, DBT, ABFT, EFT, and EMDR. I use a combination of attachment-based and trauma-informed theories, which provide strong foundations for healing and skill-building.

Hi there, my name is Daniella & I work with adults, teens (12+) and couples who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, depressed, or unsure of what comes next. You may be navigating relationship concerns, life changes, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or simply looking for a better understanding of yourself. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop tools you can use in everyday life to feel more confident and move forward.

My style is warm, open-minded, and client-centered. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself in therapy without feeling judged or told what you “should” do.

Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating or feel like you’re just talking about "problems" every week. My goal is to help you feel understood, gain a better understanding of yourself, and leave therapy with tools you can actually use in your everyday life. We’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you and focus on what matters most to you.
